Packing Woes

I...haven't even started packing yet. I don't know if this is a good thing or not. I'm officially leaving in 3 days. I'll be going to NY first for a cousin's bar mitzvah on Sat. It doesn't make sense to go back home though, and Mystic starts Tues. So what I'm planning to do is visit Smith after NY and then drive from Smith to CT on Tues. I think this will be quite convenient indeed. I'll be able to see my ASL peeps and have dinner with them! :) This is contingent on how much it snows though. I won't be able to drive to MA from NY if there's a ton of snow, so let us pray.

As for my procrastination with packing...perhaps I've become so comfortable with the whole moving around thing, that it's becoming second nature for me and I'm able to just fly off at a moment's notice. Either that, or I'm crazy.

GOOD NEWS, BY THE WAY! I just found out that my program found an interpreter who will be in residence at Mystic! This means I'll have access to an interpreter 24/7! AHHH! And not only is he a CODA, (Child of Deaf Adults), which means ASL is his first language and he must therefore be quite skilled indeed, but...HE KNOWS CUED SPEECH!!! OMFG!!! I'm definitely gonna take advantage of this. I haven't had a cued speech transliterator since high school. And for those of you who know me well, you know I prefer this method in the classroom so I can get all the vocabulary I want. Ahhhhh. Marine ecology will be great! I won't have to struggle with all the fingerspelling and pronounciations of words I have never heard before.
